is this not possible?

Also, I remeber in O.E. all the folders where individual on the hard drive which made it easy to clean up space etc, but in Outlook, its all one file isnt it? so how would one "cleanup"?

File>Import (in Outlook Express) is one place to start.

Now I'm confused. I thought you wanted to import your Outlook messages into Outlook Express. How can you not have Outlook Express ?

Sorry for the confusion

I have "outlook 2003" and want to get it back to outlook express

That just brings up O.E. i want my messages in there too
possible?

yeah, once you've got it up, go to the file menu, select 'import' and 'Messages' from the sub menu.

Select Microsoft Outlook from the list, should be able to take it from there

You cannot expect to just have your"messages"(emails)be there in OE if you have NOT been using OE.
You have to first run and setup OE for your email account(s)and THEN import.
